Does virtual stock require employees to invest money?

No, equity incentive is an incentive policy added by the company to motivate employees.

Equity incentive is mainly to give employees some shareholders' rights and interests by attaching conditions, so that they can have a sense of ownership, thus forming a whole body of interests with enterprises, promoting the growth of enterprises and employees, and then helping enterprises achieve the long-term goal of stable development. Because once the equity incentive scheme is fulfilled, the company needs to pay a certain amount of cash, so the virtual equity incentive model is more suitable for companies with abundant cash flow.
